How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Nicole integrates cognitive behavioral ideas and trauma-focused techniques with humanistic and existential perspectives. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Trauma-focused approaches help people process distressing memories and learn grounding and coping strategies to manage reactions after traumatic experiences.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on skill-building, trauma processing, or exploring values and meaning, and they adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
